Chapter 304 Farce

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Early in the morning.

The bright sunshine filled every corner of Nine Continents City. The sky was high and cloudy, and it was boundless. The slightly floating wind also brought a trace of coolness to the hot weather.

For Nine Continents City, this was an extremely rare fine day.

The bright sunlight shrouded Tiangong Mansion. On the huge but not high mountain, dozens of villas filled with modern aura shone under the sunlight. Lush scenery, modern luxurious houses, and the fresh air on the mountain. The entire Tiangong Mansion seemed to be filled with an exceptionally bright aura.

However, the atmosphere inside the third mansion was completely different from the bright weather outside.

Dark clouds covered the sky.

The third Heavenly Duke's Mansion, which had been damaged by Lin Xiaocao, had been repaired. Because Lin Congzheng of the Lin Family in Nine Continents City was transferred from the position of Governor of Wuyue Province to the position of First Deputy Director of the Development Committee, The fact that he was about to be promoted to director was already seen as a sign of the Lin Clan's resurgence in Nine Continents City. Under such circumstances, the renovated Tiangong Mansion had responded to the old saying that there were no new ones. Now, the decoration was becoming even more luxurious.

However, the newly decorated and luxurious hall was in a mess, Full breakfast was scattered all over the place, The authentic northern city Goubuli Steamed Bun rolled wantonly, A few fried dough sticks were also torn open and fell to the ground. The thick jam was scattered everywhere. The bread slices and fried eggs were torn into powder. Milk, soybean milk and tofu were mixed together and landed on the red carpet beneath his feet. The red and white were mixed together, making him look extremely dirty.

The smell of all kinds of food filled the hall.

On the huge dining table, the entire Lin Clan of Nine Continents City had arrived. Most of them had complicated expressions. Shock, anger, jealousy, hatred, helplessness. It was as if all the negative emotions had fused into their faces, causing their expressions to become exceptionally wonderful.

Angry gasps echoed in the dining room.

On the dining table, Lin Shuimo and Lin Danqing, who were sitting opposite each other, had already stopped eating. Only the two of them maintained expressionless expressions as they indifferently looked at the dining table in front of them.

'"What is Lin Xuanyuan trying to do?! Ah? What is he doing? The first elder to visit is actually Lin Congjun? How can he be qualified to be Lin Xuanyuan's elder? The War God King's elder is worthy of him? What does the Lin Clan have in the Northeast? Is there anything worth Lin Xuanyuan's oath to protect? Is there anything? Why is he worthy?"

In the silent restaurant, Lin Huaiqing's sharp and excited voice echoed unceasingly. The hoarse hen's cry stimulated everyone's eardrums.

Her face was flushed with peculiar flushes, and her eyes were constantly flickering with madness. Her expression of jealousy was even greater than anger.

During this period, She and her second brother, Lin Huaiyuan, could feel the warmth and coldness of their relationship. Two men, two sons, Two members of the Standing Committee of the CPC Provincial Committee, One is the Inspector-General of the border provinces, One was the third in command of a province, the deputy secretary of the Communist Party and the masses. He actually said that he was taken down. The fruits of his years of hard work were shattered by others. After a short period of confusion, the two old men who once had a sense of superiority towards Lin Huaiyuan could only rely on the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City. The two old men were not even considered a branch.

After leaving the capital, After leaving high politics for so many years, Lin Huaiqing and Lin Huaiyuan seemed to have forgotten the horrors of absolute power in the capital. Now, the War God King helped them recall without any hesitation that the two Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee members, senior officials at the deputy governor level, were great figures to ordinary people, but in front of the rulers of Nine Continents City, they were just two names.

As the backbone of a top political power like the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City, when Lin Huaiyu was the secretary of the Northern Municipal Party Committee and entered the Decision Making Bureau to become one of the leaders of the northern factions, Lin Huaiqing had also held a high position of power and was one of the core members of the northern factions.

At that time, Lin Huaiqing was the Governor of Nanyun Province.

Nanyun Province was originally a province where the influence of the northern factions was extremely strong. The current Nanyun local faction was a product of the collapse of the northern faction.

Lin Huaiqing had been governor of Nanyun for nearly twelve years. This was extremely rare amongst the various governors and provincial party secretaries of the empire. Even after the northern faction collapsed and she left the northern faction and the Lin family in Nine Continents City, she still worked for nearly one term.

After more than ten years of planning, Lin Huaiqing's influence in Nanyun Province was almost deeply rooted. Even after more than twenty years, there was still a bit of influence left.

These influences had been exchanged by him for practical things for more than twenty years, He had nurtured his son, Lin Conglong, with all his might. In his forties, Deputy Governor-General, The Minister of Supervision, This was the limit of all his influence, As for whether or not his son could take a step forward, it depended on luck. However, Lin Huaiqing was already very satisfied with his son's achievements. Although the Lin Clan of Nanyun was a small clan that could not stand on the stage, it was absolutely luxurious and luxurious in Nanyun. At the very least, it was more glorious than the Lin Clan of Nine Continents City, which had once enjoyed glory.

Lin Huaiyuan's situation was similar to Lin Huaiqing's, but it was better than Lin Huaiqing's.

Twenty years ago, before former Prime Minister Li Donglei was elected Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the northern faction was determined to obtain the position of Prime Minister. Moreover, it worked well. It had managed to bring all the major members of the faction to a key position in the Cabinet in advance, so that the leaders of the northern faction could take control of the situation as soon as possible after entering the Cabinet.

It was at that time that Lin Huaiyuan was promoted to the cabinet ministries and departments, and it was also the Ministry of Finance, which was full of money, and held the position of first-in-command minister.

Apart from Lin Huaiyuan's finance department, the first deputy director of the Development Committee, the executive vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce, the two deputy ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, the minister of science and technology, the executive vice minister of the Ministry of Land and Resources, the governor of the Central People's Bank, the deputy minister of Agriculture, and other key positions are all cadres of the northern faction.

As a result, Li Donglei gave up number one to compete for number two, This completely disrupted the plans of the northern factions, Li Donglei was successfully elected, The furious northern faction began to mobilize cabinet forces against Li Donglei, As well as Li Donglei's secretary, Lin Guodong, who was then the mayor of Northern City, had caused a great deal of passivity to Li Donglei's work. Therefore, when the southwest faction, Lin Qingtian, planned to destroy the northern faction, the Wang faction did not hesitate to stab the northern faction and allowed Li Donglei to control the cabinet.

In that long political storm, Lin Huaiyuan, who was supposed to be the first to be taken down by the Treasury Department, was the last to be transferred out of his job.

This had something to do with his tactful cooperation with Li Donglei's work.

But most importantly, he defected to the then southern faction the moment the northern faction collapsed.

Lin Huaiyuan had long sleeves and was a wealthy god in the eyes of local officials in ministries and departments like the Ministry of Finance, so he naturally had a wide network of contacts.

How awesome are heavyweight ministries?

Within the Development Committee, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Communications, and other heavyweight ministries and commissions, even the deputy governor had to sit on the stairs and obediently wait for a small clerk.

Therefore, many high-ranking officials ridiculed themselves, saying that if there was a small bench in the cabinet ministries, it would be the treatment of the Empire's Central Committee Member.

Thus, one could imagine how glorious Lin Huaiyuan was at that time.

After the collapse of the northern faction, he naturally could not join the southwest faction and the king faction that stabbed the most ruthlessly. Thus, Lin Huaiyu directly fell into the arms of the weaker southern faction at that time.

The southern faction could be said to be extremely eager for the treasury secretary to join the empire. They almost firmly kept his position and forced him to stay in the treasury for two years before leaving.

However, Lin Huaiyuan's political life hadn't ended after his transfer. He had spared no effort to help the southern faction for more than two consecutive years, so the southern faction didn't treat him unfairly, directly transferring him to the North Lake Province as the first-in-command and secretary of the provincial party committee.

Lin Huaiyuan spent another five years as secretary of the provincial party committee before stepping down smoothly.

At that time, his son had already begun to be nurtured by the southern faction. At the age of 34, he could be said to have boundless prospects at the deputy hall level.

Less than three months after he retired, his son, Lin Conghu, successfully advanced to the next rank. He was transferred to Beihu Province and became the secretary of a prefecture-level municipal party committee. Before he was 38, he became the deputy governor of Beihu Province, and at the age of 43, he became a member of the standing committee and deputy governor of the provincial party committee.

At that time, Lin Huaiyuan's influence in North Lake had decreased by more than half, but Lin Conghu had received the attention of the southern faction leaders. After a few more years of training, Lin Conghu finally became the deputy secretary of the party and third in command of North Lake Province at the age of 48.

Ten years of lieutenant governorship.

The fine-tuning of posts within the party was a huge gap between the rank of deputy governor and the rank of governor.

Originally, Lin Huaiyuan and Lin Conghu had already received a clear message. Due to the health of the Governor of Beihu Province, the Governor of Beihu Province would retire early after the plenary meeting of the Center. Lin Conghu would be the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, deputy governor, and acting governor of Beihu Province.

After the National Convention next year, he will be re-established as Governor.

A 51-year-old full-time governor.

Apart from some people who had powerful backgrounds that no one dared to look directly at, the 51-year-old Governor was definitely considered a young man in the empire.

If the post of Governor is outstanding and the provincial party secretary is in office, Lin Conghu can even have a sliver of hope of breaking through to the Policy Bureaux.

Although the hope was small, it was real.

Just as the father and son were in high spirits...

Then...

There's no more and...

Because Lin Conghu and Lin Conglong leaked state secrets, To foreign drug dealers, Arms dealers provide protection. Umbrellas, Suspected of abusing power for personal gain, corruption, having and maintaining improper relations with a number of women, On almost the same day, Shuanggui and Guo Tianlong, the Standing Committee member of the Imperial Decision-making Bureau and Minister of Supervision, personally gave important instructions and paid close attention to the case. The case was handled extremely quickly. Now, two high-ranking officials with boundless prospects at the level of deputy governor had already closed the case, expelled them from the party, and entered the judicial process.

The hopes of Lin Huaiyuan and Lin Huaiqing, who had worked hard for their entire lives, were instantly completely dashed by the words of the War God King.

How cruel?

So this morning, when the two old men heard the War God King swear to protect the Lin Family in the Northeast for the rest of their lives, Lin Huaiqing exploded before Lin Huaiyu could get angry.

It was outright jealousy and despair.

Lin Congjun!

In terms of seniority, he was just his nephew, and he was also a blood related nephew.

I'm his aunt.

Even though they hadn't interacted with each other for so many years, their bloodline still existed. The War God King, whose scalp was numb when he thought of it, directly shattered all of his hopes a few months ago. He turned around and made a promise to his nephew.

Why? !

Why would he? !

Why did he support the Lin Clan in the Northeast instead of himself?

Under the jealousy and anger, Lin Huaiqing subconsciously appeared absent-minded. It was purely out of instinct. He began to imagine how high his son would be if the War God King swore an oath to him to support his son, Lin Conglong.

Governor?

Policy Bureau members?

Policy Bureau Standing Committee member?

Lin Huaiqing's entire body trembled with excitement. She immediately recognized the reality and became even angrier.

"No way! We have to find that little brat Lin Congjun. He has to give us an explanation!"

"What explanation?"

Lin Huaiyu calmly sat on the main seat and asked in a calm tone.

His own son, who had broken off with him, had received the full support and protection of the War God King. This made his mind extremely complicated, and even his jealousy was greater than the slightest bit of comfort.

Amongst the current leaders of the Wang Clan, Li Donglei, Ye Nianlun , Chen Hua Lou, Zou Ren Te, Guo Tian Long, and Lin Xuan Yuan.

The War God King seemed to be ranked last, but Lin Huaiyu naturally knew that it was only because Lin Xuanyuan did not hold an official position. To be exact, Lin Xuanyuan was the most special one, because he was not only the leader of the royal family, but also one of the three giants of the royal family.

The person he swore to protect was the same as the person the royal family swore to protect. He could use the power of the royal family and then the power of the entire royal family.

This kind of powerful representativeness and coverage was something that other royal leaders did not possess, and even Chen Hualou could not compare to.

Thus, after obtaining Lin Xuanyuan's promise, the Lin Clan in the Northeast had changed. They were no longer cannon fodder-like pioneers in the Northeast, but the true core of the Imperial Clan.

Even the emperor would not simply treat Lin Congjun as a chess piece and a vanguard, because the Lin Clan in the Northeast was now a member of the War God King.

Lin Huaiyu took out a cigarette and lit it. He took a deep breath and the corners of his mouth were filled with bitterness.

He couldn't help but recall the day when Lin Conghu had just dismounted from the dragon's horse in the Tiger Forest about two months ago.

That night, he went with Lin Congzheng to visit Lin Xuanyuan at the War God Palace.

He originally thought that the other party would give Lin Congzheng, the newly appointed first deputy director of the Development Committee, face, but the result was that he didn't even see the War God King's face. In the end, he made a vigorous investigation into Lin Conglin and Conglong.

Two months later, the returning Lin Xuanyuan seemed to have forgotten about his visit and didn't react at all.

Lin Huaiyu didn't feel angry, he was just slightly anxious.

Because Lin Congzheng occasionally came into contact with Deputy Prime Minister Chen Hualou, between the lines, Chen Congzheng quietly hinted that whether Lin Congzheng could be elected a member of the Policy Bureau or a State Councilor this year depended on the War God King's attitude.

For Lin Congzheng, this year was a crucial year. If he could successfully be elected as a member of the Policy Bureau, then in the next term of Huangfu Jun's team, he was likely to rush into the ranks of the Standing Committee's giants. If he waited for the next two years, then it would be too late.

Therefore, like Lin Huaiqing, after hearing the War God King's promise, Lin Huaiyu also had an unspeakable anger.

Why was Lin Xuanyuan so fond of the Lin Clan in the Northeast and so disdainful of the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City?

Lin Huaiyu also wanted to ask why Lin Congjun was here!

"For what explanation? ! We must ask Lin Congjun to give us an explanation. Everyone's surname is Lin and they are related by blood! Why did Lin Xuanyuan only value the Lin Clan in the Northeast? We need Lin Congjun to give us an explanation and compensation, Ask him to tell Lin Xuanyuan that he will let Tiger Conglong go and let them return to their original positions. No, Lin Xuanyuan is so powerful. If he wants them to be promoted, he will definitely give Lin Congjun face. We need to find Lin Congjun now. We have to let that little brat find the War God Palace and talk to Lin Xuanyuan! Otherwise, I won't be finished with him! "

Lin Huaiqing screamed hysterically. His intense jealousy almost made him lose his mind.

The corner of Lin Congzheng's mouth twitched and he said indifferently, "Third Brother does have this kind of face, but Little Aunt, don't forget the relationship between Third Brother and us. Why should he be a lobbyist for us?"

"Why?!"

Lin Huaiqing glared fiercely at Lin Congzheng and shouted, "Since I'm his aunt, didn't I carry him when I was a child?" Now that my wings have hardened, I'm rich, and I'm rich, how dare you not recognize me? He dared! No matter what, he is also my nephew. If you don't give me a satisfactory compensation, I won't spare him! You're in politics, aren't you? At most, go join the southwest faction and see if they are afraid! "

Lin Shuimo glanced at the little aunt's face and lowered his head again.

She suddenly felt that this elder was truly ridiculous. Back then, when Third Uncle was in despair, he didn't care how far he hid. Now that Third Uncle was brilliant, he planned to use the pretense of being an elder to demand so-called compensation.

Lin Shuimo really wanted to pinch Little Aunt's face and see how thick her skin was.

Third Uncle broke up with his family back then. If he really cared about the so-called elders, how could he not return home once in more than 20 years? Not a single phone call?

Lin Shuimo could not think of any other words to describe the little aunt who had taken a step further in her relationship to ask for compensation other than self-humiliation.

"Auntie, I think you're mistaken, "The Lin Clan of Nine Continents City is not the Lin Clan of Nanyun. This is up to father and me. You can go to Third Brother to get compensation. The conditions are up to you. You can even go to Third Brother and live with him. I don't care, but no matter what, I don't want to hear that you want me to join the Southwest Faction. Otherwise, you should go to Nanyun to retire."

Lin Congzheng's tone suddenly turned cold. For this little aunt, He really didn't like it at all, When he broke away from the northern factions, Leaving the clan was enough to make Lin Congzheng reject this elder from the bottom of his heart. His career was smooth, and after the Lin Clan rose again in Nine Continents City, he and Second Uncle planned to return. Although Lin Congzheng did not welcome him, for the sake of the old man's nostalgia, he endured it. The inexplicable sense of superiority in their bodies made him feel more and more irritated.

Lin Congzheng even suspected that he was being looked down on by the War God King because he was being dragged down by Lin Conglin and Conglong.

Now that Lin Congzheng heard that his aunt still wanted to make the decision to join the southwest faction for him, he couldn't help but curse an idiot in his heart.

"You …"

Lin Huaiqing opened her eyes wide and looked at Lin Congzheng. She was stunned, her face flushed red, and she was extremely embarrassed.

Lin Congzheng snorted coldly and ignored her.

He was currently an important member of the Cabinet, the first deputy director of the Development Committee, and a full-time governor. Under such circumstances, how could he dare to change his political stance so easily? That was a fatal mistake.

Moreover, Lin Congzheng was absolutely certain that as long as he dared to join the southwest faction, Lin Xuanyuan would dare to immediately chop up his family.

Kill the entire family of a high-ranking governor.

This was something that was quite taboo, but Lin Congzheng believed that even if Lin Xuanyuan did, the southwest faction would remain silent. As for the south faction, they only had the qualifications to watch from the sidelines. What else could they say?

The southwest faction was eager for the Lin Clan to disappear from the Nine Continents City, completely erasing some of the shameful methods and grudges they had used back then.

Once he completely offended the royal family, his family would definitely not be able to live for twenty-four hours.

Joining the southwest faction, what the fuck is this stupid idea?

"How's Lin Xiaocao?"

Lin Congzheng was silent for a while before suddenly raising his head and looking at his two beautiful daughters, he asked.

As the first deputy director of the Development Committee, Lin Congzheng had already entered the core of the empire. With his authority, he naturally knew who the seven World-shaking Martial Arts Sovereigns in the Dark World were.

Lin Xiaocao, who was closely related to the royal family, was ranked fourth.

Lin Congzheng's heart quietly grew hot. A world-shaking Martial Arts Sovereign could definitely speak in front of the emperor even if he wasn't crowned king in the royal family. If he could come in contact with the War God King...

A trace of excitement flashed in Lin Congzheng's eyes.

Lin Huaiyu's heart skipped a beat as he looked at his two granddaughters.

"There is no news yet, but it is said that the instructor will return in the next few days. He is still dealing with some private matters in Japan."

War God Lin Xuanyuan returned.

Super agent Lin Xiaocao was in Japan.

This was the most official news, and it was also news that most people had heard of.

Lin Huaiyu narrowed his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said indifferently, "Dan Qing, Shui Mo, wait for Xiao Cao to return. Invite him to eat at home. You are young people, so you should keep in touch."

Lin Danqing and Lin Shuimo subconsciously looked at each other and saw a deep meaning in each other's eyes.

They were a pair of sisters, so they had to take the initiative to contact Lin Xiaocao frequently?

What was this? !

Lin Shuimo, who had always been docile at home, lowered his head again and didn't agree, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Lin Danqing's lips curled into a mocking smile. Looking coldly at the elders present, it was as if he was looking at a ridiculous joke.

Or.

It was a farce!

...
